About this work
Standing in a mountainous coastal landscape, Neptune addresses a number of river gods. He calls on them to help him cause a flood. Jupiter has decided that mankind must be swept away by a great deluge as punishment for bad behavior. In the lower margin, a four-line explanation in two columns, in Latin.
